@penfount The second pen I’ll mention is my BENU Euphoria Earl Grey with a fine stub nib ground by All in the Nib. I love the design and resin of this Euphoria, a dark transparent brown base with chunky gold and dark blue glitter. The F stub works so well with my small writing. I actually transplanted this nib from the pen I got it with, another cool Euphoria collaboration with The Pen Addict for his 15th (IIRC) anniversary.
I have a few other faves, but I’ll stop here!
My 1937 Parker Vacumatic. It is a beautiful stacked celluloid material and the flexible nib is absolutely amazing!
@penfount @jezlyn Pen: Soubriquet from Desiderata Pen Company.
Ink: Pilot Iroshizuku Yu-yake

@penfount @jezlyn My first thought is this John Garnham JG8 in Conway Stewart Stardust Red acrylic.

I absolutely adore writing with it, especially since I can write nice & small with it while still having that CI look.
